When my lovely friend, Joanna, asked me to photograph her for some lifestyle headshots in Manhattan, I was ecstatic! Jo is a beautiful soul inside and out. She's a talented designer and founder of Jo Designs, which focuses on interiors, events and stationery design. Joanna's creative juices are always flowing, which was such an inspiration to me when I was photographing her!
